Meet indieGo

indieGo is an easy to use power mobility device that can quickly adapt to almost any manual wheelchair without the use of tools.

To use indieGo, roll the wheelchair backward up the ramps and into the two independent wheel cradles. Once the wheelchair is seated on the device, the user can use their manual chair as a power chair. When power is no longer needed, they can simply roll off.

indieGo can be used as a personal mobility device, a therapeutic training tool or as a shared device for large venues or parks.

This two-day professional development opportunity will introduce participants to the Ohio Department of Education Comprehensive Monitoring Process and emphasizes the critical role of the Evaluation Team Report in ensuring compliant practices to promote “significant progress” for students, in an educational program that is “appropriately ambitious in light of (his/her) circumstances” (Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District).

Participants may come as individuals or in teams to become familiar with Ohio Department of Education processes for compliant ETRs, and to apply Office of Exceptional Children tools and reference resources through exercises with actual student data to improve their ETR practices.

This training is required for all Mid-Ohio ESC psychologists and psychologist assistants; and is recommended for district-level special education administrators and supervisors, district-employed school psychologists and assistants, pre-referral and evaluation team members, and related services providers.

Participants should bring a laptop or tablet, a completed ETR that has personally identifiable data redacted, and raw data related to an evaluation in progress.
